Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. This week, my child has had a slightly painful ear. Additionally, I noticed that the earwax is purulent, a bit yellow, and the ear is buzzing. There's also a low fever. I would like to ask: How should I treat otitis media with yellow fluid discharge in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of otitis media and can be selected as needed. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the ear pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If a child has a fever, parents can give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. Otitis media has a characteristic of recurrent episodes, and if there is a perforation of the eardrum, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. Parents should also pay attention to taking preventive measures to avoid a recurrence of otitis media.
